Despite the weather and rising
water, fishing has been good for all species, with walleyes and jumbo perch
showing up on reefs, and points in the Canadian islands. Don’t be afraid to go deep and fish on
the mud around structure if the fish are not on top. Musky fishermen have been doing well in sand bays and
boulder areas. Weeds are still
somewhat hard to find yet, but any isolated stands will hold fish. We have had some good luck on big
northern pike in some of the back bays still, but most of them have moved to
deeper water by now. The smallmouth fishing has been exceptional along the
boulder shorelines. The mayfly
hatch hasn’t hit hard yet, but many of the fish we are catching seem to be full of
the larva.
In
Minnesota waters, anglers have been working the Flag I. flats area, as well as
Brush I. and Little Oak I. areas.
